For the upcoming New Year, wearing just a sparkly 'fit isn't enough to welcome a shining 2025. To maximize the look, add glitter eyeshadow as well for an overall flattering vibe.
However, traditional glitter makeup may feel chunky and uncomfortable, thus, a lot of beauty lovers are switching to a modern and demure product to achieve a shimmering look.

Currently, the fairy dust eyeshadow is popular on TikTok. Makeup fanatics can either use this solely or add it as the top layer for their favorite eyeshadow combination.
"This category of shadows are finely milled, high pigment-load shimmer shadows that give an intense twinkle or an almost ‘wet,’ slick look to the lids," said makeup artist Kasey Spickard to the media outlet, Byrdie.
To apply it, spray setting pray to a flat brush, dip it into the shadow, and put it directly to the eyelid, Kasey recommended.
Here are some of the must-try fairy dust eyeshadow, as suggested by Spickard:
